You don't have to read far into the comments on our Modern Warfare 2 review to see the level of unbridled anger levelled at Infinity Ward over its handling of the PC version's multiplayer functionality. ...

In total, 45 laptops have been left behind. Want ‘em? Want two extra Achievements or Trophies? Want that 100% complete marker on your main menu screen? Then you’ll need this guide. ...

Modern Warfare 2 is one of the most praised games of the last several years (see our review, for example). It’s a massively massive release, and given that CoD 4 has been in our multiplayer rotation for the past two years, we can only expect that MW2 will be dominating PCs, PS3s, and 360s for the next two (or more). ...

How many times in your life have you pressed “A” on a NES controller?

Jumping, mostly, and sometimes shooting or punching or maybe some other stuff if it was one of those weird games. ...

Then we saw the prequels and learned the awful, retconned truth: “Annie” liked to build toy robots, wear pageboy haircuts, yell cutesy catchphrases and hit on his babysitters. ...

We’ve been having a great time with the Left 4 Dead 2 demo since it went live for fans who pre-ordered the sequel last week. But it’s time to stop and smell the zombies. Every area has tons of details that are easy to miss when you’re busy bashing brains in with a frying pan. ...
